A Cordic-based Floating-point Arithmetic Unit

Abstract

A floating-point arithmetic unit based on the CORDIC algorithm is described. It computes a wide range of arithmetic, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions and achieves a normalized peak performancle off 220 MFLOPs. The unit is implemented in 1.6pm double-metal CMOS technology and packaged in a 280 pin PGA.
